Rune will miss Wimbledon: absence from October 2025 raises questions
Former world number four Holger Rune has officially withdrawn from Wimbledon. The Dane has not been on the court for 9 months - what is it: an injury, a crisis of form or a system failure?
Former world number four Holger Rune has officially withdrawn from Wimbledon 2025. The Dane has not competed professionally since October 2025, making his absence from a major grass tournament the longest of his career. The refusal to participate was confirmed by the tournament organizers in an official press release.
Previously, Rune did not appear in the qualifying grid, which excluded even the theoretical possibility of his return. The last time he took to the court was in October 2025 at the ATP 250 tournament in Stockholm, where he lost in the first round. The cancellation of the trip to London was a logical consequence of the nine-month break.
During this time, the Dane did not play a single match, did not rise in the rankings and did not announce plans to return. The ATP does not comment on the reasons for the absence, citing its confidentiality policy regarding athlete . There are versions circulating in the Danish media about a possible back injury that Rune could have received in training before Stockholm.
